More great reviews for Zivkovic and Evans

It looks like the ALA aren’t the only people enjoying the latest PS Publishing titles; hot on the heels of yesterday’s glowing reviews from Booklist, Zoran Živković and Christopher Evans have racked up another recommendation each.
Back on 3rd May, Lisa Tuttle took a look at Christopher Evans’ Omega for The Times‘ science fiction and fantasy reviews section. Being as it was in the print edition, I can’t link to it (how Twentieth Century!), but I can quote from it:
“A more compelling vision of two minds sharing a single body shines through Christopher Evans’ Omega [...] Character-driven SF at its best, with a terrific concept — a super-weapon with shocking potential — at its core.”

Meanwhile, Karen at SF Signal gets her teeth into Zoran Živković‘s The Last Book, and finds it a tasty morsel deserving a four-star review:
“We should all give PS Publishing a rousing vote of thanks for keeping the stories of Serbian writer Zoran Živković available for US audiences. [...] Although this short novel (less than 200 pages) is a murder mystery where it’s always raining, it isn’t at all dark and gloomy. I found myself laughing out loud …
It is very fast and easy to read, perfect for a rainy afternoon in a tea shop, perhaps, which is where the two protagonists spend much of their time. For anyone who enjoys books about books, and also short witty books by excellent writers, this will be one you shouldn’t miss.”
Her bottom-line summary? “Umberto Eco for the rest of us”. So click through to add The Last Book to your collection:
